Ford GT40 - is a sports car; the fourfold winner of the 24-hour races Le Mans from 1966 to 1969. The official presentation of the first prototype took place on April 1, 1964, during the motor show in New York. A bit later, there was continued work on creation of prototypes of Ford GT40 Shelby, including the GT/104 version which lost weight. The present version is equipped with 4,7-liter V8 with the four-stage automatic transmission, in spite of the fact that standard versions went with 5-staged manual gearbox. Saturation of blue color, little outdated forms, massive wheels and powerful engine - it is all about Ford GT40. Today we can compare GT40 with masterpieces of the great artists. At auction in Houston, the price of the retro car was stopped at $ 4,950,000.
